Question

in a flash of sheer brilliance, dylan invents a time machine! the machine uses a small nuclear reactor to generate the electricity it needs to travel back in time. to travel back 8 years, dylans time machine needs 8 megawatts of electricity. to travel back 14 years, it needs 14 megawatts.
in this relationship, x represents how many years dylan wants to travel back in time, and y represents how much electricity (in megawatts) his time machine needs.
graph two points for this relationship and the line passing through them.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the points

Given that when $x = 8$ (years back in time), $y=8$ (megawatts) and when $x = 14$, $y = 14$. So the two points are $(8,8)$ and $(14,14)$.

Step2: Plot the points

On the coordinate - plane, find the point $(8,8)$ by moving 8 units to the right along the x - axis and 8 units up along the y - axis and mark it. Then find the point $(14,14)$ by moving 14 units to the right along the x - axis and 14 units up along the y - axis and mark it.

Step3: Draw the line

Use a straight - edge to draw a line passing through the two marked points $(8,8)$ and $(14,14)$.

Answer:

Plot the points $(8,8)$ and $(14,14)$ on the given graph and draw a line passing through them.
